Only difference I can find is that there are people who “believe” in religions but almost everyone knows mythologies are just stories. So why don’t religions have the same treatment? They’re essentially the same thing, stories about people who may or may not have existed.

I would argue that one of the key characteristics of a religion is that those who follow the tenets of the religion gain some sort of personal benefit, either in this life or a potential after or future life. Mythology, on the other hand, are just stories – reading or believing them does not necessarily result in any personal gain.
